A Montenegro judge agrees to extradite collapsed crypto founder Do Kwon.
But now the question is: to where? Kwon faces charges in both the US and South Korea in connection with the collapse of the Terra stablecoin and its sister token Luna.

A Montenegrin Justice Minister must now decide whether to extradite Kwon to the US or South Korea.

Bankrupt crypto lender Genesis is suing Gemini to recover $689 million.
In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Genesis alleges Gemini, a crypto exchange owned by the Winklevoss twins, made “significant withdrawals” before Genesis filed for bankruptcy, contributing to a “run on the bank.”
This comes after Gemini sued Genesis owner Digital Currency Group (DCG) in July, claiming it engaged in fraud through the high-yield Earn program they partnered on. When not waging legal battles against each other, Gemini, Genesis, and DCG must deal with the lawsuit New York’s Attorney General filed against all three of them.

Netflix wants its money back after a $55 million production fell apart.
That’s according to The New York Times, which claims filmmaker Carl Erik Rinsch pocketed the millions of dollars Netflix transferred him for the production of a sci-fi series that we’ll probably never see:
Netflix wired Mr. Rinsch’s production company $11 million, bringing its total outlay to more than $55 million... Mr. Rinsch transferred $10.5 million of the $11 million to his personal brokerage account at Charles Schwab and, using options, placed risky bets on the stock market.
Rinsch and Netflix are “now locked in a confidential arbitration proceeding,” the NYT reports. He reportedly claims Netflix owes him “at least $14 million in damages.”
